"Disorder anisotropy of layered structure in multi-band MgB2 supercondu" by Minoru Maeda, Jun Hyuk Choi et al.
Layered crystal structures of various materials form through strong in-plane covalent and weaker out-of-plane bonding. The different bonding states can lead to the appearance of anisotropies not only of electronic/electrical and magnetic properties but also of structural disorder. A deeper understanding of the disorder anisotropy is essential to carry out structural modification and to enhance the material properties. However, in the case of multi-band MgB2 superconducting materials that have layered structures, including graphene-like and six-membered rings, the nature and extent of the disor...
